Combining speech recognition software with digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) workstation software on a microsoft windows platform

This presentation describes our experience in combining speech recognition software, clinical review software, and other software products on a single computer. Different processor speeds, random access memory (RAM), and computer costs were evaluated. We found that combining continuous speech recognition software with Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) workstation software on the same platform is feasible and can lead to substantial savings of hardware cost. This combination optimizes use of limited workspace and can improve radiology workflow.
